My Final Project involved me basing
an idea around a national retailer “Juicy Couture.” Having done extensive
research into the brand I found that the company itself had never focused on
retailing of sports wear for women. I therefore incorporated the original
design into a new theme for sports wear. I obtained for my final project a
Grade A with Merit.

ADDITIONAL
SKILLS:
At the age of 13 with my school I did a three month over seas
educational course in Israel, living on a kibbutz and travelling the entire
country, along with carrying out all my school studies. This was an amazing
experience that taught me to be very independent, self-motivated as many of the
task’s we had to learn to do by ourselves.
I also enrolled on a care scheme at
school, where senior pupils aided younger student with improving their reading
ability. This was rewarding, as we learnt listen and be patient.
Participation in the organisation of the
schools open days whereby students escorted new pupils and their parents around
the school and provided an insight into student life at JFS and the rewarding
experiences that it offered.
Further to this I attend life drawing classes, which allow me to
visually express myself, which has positive influences with regards my work
with fashion and the different projects I have been involved in at College over
the past year for example creating a clothes range.
